Standard Chartered Bank Stanley Marathon
Port Stanley, Falkland Islands · Sunday 4 October 2026
The Standard Chartered Bank Stanley Marathon takes place in October 2026 in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, offering runners a full marathon distance on trail terrain with minimal elevation change. The course is flat to gently rolling, making it accessible for most fitness levels without the punishing climbs you'd find in mountain marathons. As a trail event, expect natural surfaces that demand slightly more effort than road running, so factor in a slower pace than your road marathon times. The remote location in the South Atlantic means this is a destination race worth planning ahead for, but if you're seeking a genuine adventure rather than a fast time, the Falkland Islands setting delivers something genuinely different from the standard marathon circuit.
